T echnically competent personnel will be on hand at the MBE stand to discuss the various technolo- gies available from the company. These include Pneuflot ® flotation technology which continues to attract global attention as a flotation technology of the fu- ture. Kottmann says that there are 82 instal- lations in coal globally and in magnetite and haematite (itabirite) flotation in South Africa. According to Kottmann, the Pneuflot ® flota- tion cell improves product quality and recovery, delivering lower capital and operating costs, as well as significantly lower wear costs and higher efficiencies. It features a unique design with no rotating parts, achieving low energy consumption and less wear-and-tear than con- ventional agitator cells. Also on show will be the company’s BATAC ® jig technology. This, says Kottmann, has been field-proven through extensive and diverse test work to deliver higher efficiency, huge eco- nomic benefits, better product quality, better machine availability and higher throughput rates. The main advantages are its excellent separation accuracy, its relatively small foot- print and its comparatively low capital cost. Discussing other product lines to be exhib- ited, Kottmann says the company’s ROMJIG ® has proved particularly suitable as a reliable and economical solution in destoning raw coal. “The lower percentage of refuse in the washery feed means reduced wear on machinery and transporting equipment, less grain degradation,

A leading supplier of minerals beneficiation technology to the African mining sector, MBE Minerals will be participating at the show. “This is a significant year to be attending Electra Mining Africa as MBE Minerals will be celebrating 40 years of successful operation on the continent,” Kottmann says.

Pneuflot® cells are simple in design, with a high yield of froth product.
